Foreword

The virtually snowless and sunny start to last winter left us appreciating the snowy splendour even more when it eventually arrived on 7th January. Similarly, the weather conditions in early summer revealed that even in the South Tyrol the sun cannot be expected to shine every day, even though the rest of the summer and most of the autumn turned out to be one of the most exceptional of the last decade. Above all, these specific circumstances have shown us that our main strengths lie in quick and good decision-making, flexible planning and logistical knowledge gained from many years of experience in and around the mountains. With these points in mind, we have again produced a varied annual programme which gives us plenty of leeway for change and, together with our clients, we are looking forward to organising an exciting and satisfactory mountain year.
